If you’re planning to buy a newiPad, don’t do it this week – or at least, don’t do it if you want aniPad Air. Apple’sbest iPadfor most of us is going to be updated next month, and it’ll be the only iPad update we’ll see in 2023.
What to expect from the iPad Air (2023)
The new iPad Air is likely to move up from the current M1 chip to the M2, which we’ve already seen in theiPad Pro, the latestMacBook Airand theMacBook Protoo. I can’t say I’ve ever encountered performance issues with my M1 Air, which I use for heavy-duty things such as running Logic Pro, but a faster, more efficient processor is always nice to have.
OLED iPads are still some way offand the Air has already moved to USB-C, so any other changes in the sixth generation are likely to be minor: the move to the M-series silicon was a big change and that was last Spring, so we’re very much in the “tock” part ofApple’s usual tick-tock upgrade pattern: the seventh generation is the one most likely to get a redesign in a year or so.
That said, you never know with Apple: with the rumour factory and the legions of leakers focused on this week’siPhone 15launch, it’s possible that Apple’s working on something interesting for the iPad Air 6. Expect to find out for sure in October, which is when Apple tends to unveil its iPads and other educational products.
